Overall I enjoyed my stay – the place was mostly good, but could be better. The apartment is serviceable and in a perfect location – it will do very nicely for short stays, though I would not stay here for longer stays. A few pros/cons:
Pros:
- Location is perfect. Can't be beaten if you're staying in Nana/Asoke area. Quiet neighbourhood in the evenings, but only minutes away from everything.
- Communication was great – Noons was very responsive and helpful, especially during check-in. All the information was provided in advance in a clear and thorough way.
- Check in process was very smooth – although it is quite easy to confuse the apartment building with the one next door as they look exactly the same and have similar names.
- Generally clean and modern apartment.
- It has all the basics.
- Spacious living area. I liked the open plan layout.
Cons:
- The apartment gets zero natural light. This is not the host's fault, but the light fittings are quite dim which means the living area of the apartment gets quite dark. Not all the lights worked.
- The kitchen feels like it's designed not to actually be used by guests. While the absolute minimum is there, a few more pots and pans, basic amenities (e.g. mugs, proper plates and cups rather than plastic ones, drying rack and dishtowels) would make it much, much better. Currently it's not good for cooking in.
- The sofa needs to be cleaned properly – it did not smell good when sitting in it!
- I really, really, did not appreciate being messaged by the host the day before check out asking me to not leave a review unless it would be 5 stars. I thought that was in poor taste.
Again, the place is objectively 'good' – especially due to the location – and has most of the basics. It feels very much like an 'professional Airbnb' and does not feel lived in at all (nothing on the walls, very empty, bare minimum in the kitchen etc.). This may or may not appeal to you.
